ACPOC traces its roots to 1946, when Dr. Carlton Dean, Dr. Charles H. Frantz, and Dr. George T. Aitken organized a Juvenile Amputee Program in Michigan to better fit and treat child amputees. A pivotal meeting in Grand Rapids, Michigan in January 1954 launched a national juvenile amputee management effort, leading to a committee on child prosthetic problems that first met in 1956.

Annual meetings hosted by member clinics began in 1972. After the parent committee was disbanded in 1976, clinic chiefs voted at the 1978 Grand Rapids meeting to form a free-standing organization. Officers were elected at the 1979 Memphis meeting, and the by-laws were approved in 1980 in New Jersey, formally establishing the present Association of Children's Prosthetic-Orthotic Clinics (founded 1980). Today ACPOC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Fennville, MI, and an international organization that meets annually in a member clinic's host city in the US or Canada.
